During Jernkontoret´s panel at Almedalen in Sweden, the focus was on sustainability, innovation and demand. How can the Swedish steel industry contribute to the transition and competitiveness? Discussions centered around the shift towards more sustainable production, investments in green technologies, and how global customer demands for low-emission steel have evolved in recent years, influencing strategic decisions within the industry. The role of the government, EU, and international organizations in ensuring the continued competitiveness of the Swedish steel industry was also discussed. Nicolai Schaaf, Sustainability Manager at Kanthal, a part of Alleima, was one of the panel participants highlighting the role of electrifying industrial heating processes as part of the global industrial transformation. "Kanthal helps various sectors, including the steel industry, in electrifying their processes to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. As global industries aim for emission-free value-chains, electrification of industrial heating plays a crucial role.” "Alleima is part of the journey ourselves and already have a high degree of electrification and are now focusing on replacing the remaining combustion processes." Other participants in the panel included Christina Friborg, Head of Sustainability at SSAB, and Niklas Wass, President of the Stainless Europe business line at Outokumpu. Also present were Ida Drougge political party Moderaterna, Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist political party Centerpartiet, Marie Barrling, Head of Sustainability and Communications at the Mellansvenska Handelskammaren (Chamber of Commerce for Central Sweden), and Annika Roos ♦️´s Managing Director Jernkontoret. The panel discussions were moderated by Kristian Ljungblad, Public Affairs Director Jernkontoret.

🚀 Join Me in Advocating for Manufacturing Excellence in Europe! 🚀 🤝 Sign the Manufacturing & Research Innovation Petition - https://lnkd.in/gp4k2jPy As a member of the Partnership Board between EFFRA and the European Federation for Welding, Joining and Cutting (EWF) Commission, I am deeply committed to advancing manufacturing excellence in Europe. By signing this petition, we can collectively urge policymakers to enhance their focus on manufacturing and increase funding for applied research in this vital sector. 🏭🔬 European manufacturing has been the bedrock of our wealth, security, and quality of life. Historically, Europe has been a leader in technological innovation, and it's time to reclaim our position as global pioneers in producing cutting-edge products and systems. 🌍✨ Manufacturing is more than just an industry; it's a driver for a prosperous future. It creates high-quality jobs, promotes circular production, addresses skills shortages, decarbonizes transport and energy, adapts to societal changes, and develops advanced defense systems. By prioritizing manufacturing, we are ensuring a brighter future for Europe. 💼♻️🔋 Support for manufacturing research is crucial at all levels. In Framework Programme 10, we are calling for a doubling of the funding for manufacturing research, particularly through the Made in Europe Partnership. This will attract industry investment and deliver faster and better results. 📈💡 We need to strengthen collaboration between the Made in Europe Partnership and sector-specific initiatives. A unified approach to addressing manufacturing challenges is essential. 🤝🔗 Let's champion manufacturing and keep Europe at the forefront of global innovation! 🇪🇺💪 Sign the petition - https://lnkd.in/gp4k2jPy #Manufacturing #Innovation #Research #Europe #MadeInEurope #SustainableGrowth

Last week I signed the #AntwerpDeclaration for a European #IndustrialDeal because I firmly believe that competitive industrial activity is at stake. And to bring about the innovation that is needed to make the Green Deal happen, we need industrial policy to make that possible. I firmly believe Europe can do it, but we have to get started. Already 550 signatures and more than 395 companies out of 20 sectors: Now, for the first time, industry leaders from across the #EU have joined forces to voice their concern, calling upon policy makers to act. As the CEO of ALTANA AG, I am a committed signatory of this Antwerp Declaration, which was presented to EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Belgian Prime Minister Alexander de Croo. Bringing together business and industry from 20 sectors across the EU, this is a joint call to action as pressing as it is historic, stating: "There is an urgent need for clarity, predictability, and confidence in Europe and its industrial policy to complement the EU Green Deal and keep high quality jobs for European workers in Europe." That applies to the chemical industry in particular. What we think needs to be done now is put together in the declaration’s ten core suggestions. While my fellow industry leaders and I are no policy makers, I do know from my daily experience that we will need the right mindset, commitment, finance, and - above all - perseverance. Looking at ALTANA for example, we have always been strongly committed to an innovation culture put into practice by spending 7 percent of our annual revenue. Year after year. In good times and in bad times. That same spirit is also the foundation for our specialty chemicals production, labs and services across our more than 25 sites in the EU. And I strongly believe that if we as a company can do it - thanks to gifted and committed colleagues working hard across the continent - #Europe can do it, too.
